A fact from Barbara P. McCarthy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 November 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Barbara P. McCarthy disagreed with philologist Rudolf Helm about whether or not Lucian originated a particular form of satiric dialog?

Questions on changes

Why have the list of publications and the list of commemorations been cancelled? I think they provided evidence for McCarthy range of work, and of the estimation by the wider academic community. Sara Classics (talk) 15:05, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the summary of McCarthy's article about Lucian and Satyre has been cut as 'unreferenced', but it is a summary of the article itself, so it is referenced, and objective in its exposition. I would restore it because it gives actual info on McCarthy's research and contributes to make it known to the public Sara Classics (talk) 15:10, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
